Feeling bullied but ridiculous, AIBU to take it further (work)

So basically a new woman started at my place of work and seemed ok at first, after a few days kept calling me Alice. I kept correcting her but it seemed genuine so I didn't think much of it. Then she started asking everyone if they liked Alice Cooper, again didn't think much of it until she looked at me, asked me and then burst out laughing then the "alice" mistakes and the laughing made me think she was getting at something.

The next thing was that she posted loads of alice cooper music videos on her facebook and tagged me in them. I asked what she was on about and she said she thought I liked him. So by this point I realise she is taking the piss and next time at work ask her why she keeps calling me alice and going on about the singer. She said I was being paranoid but another colleague told me that she'd asked her if she thought I looked like Alice Cooper and she'd apparantly been asking everyone.

Final straw was a name sticker with Alice on it was placed on my locker.

I know I should just ignore it as it's kiddy stuff but it's doing my head in. AIBU to take it further (along the bullying route?)

Sometimes just sometimes you have to out psycho people like this. You have to show her that she can't mess with you because you will come back twice as hard. Only you have to be clever about it. Complain to HR etc etc...but slash her tyre. Sign her name and number up to a sex line or something. Let her know without admitting anything it could be you....and deny deny deny.

But then I've been bullied myself and I won't stand for it, it ruins lives. She needs to know she can't mess with you. Get the bitch fired.

Wow I'm in a dark mood ??

Good grief - how bizarre is her behavior?! When you are new in a job, surely you should be trying to get your bearings, forge good professional working relationships with colleagues and generally settle in. Not identify a victim and be utterly vile to them! Either she is a grade a bitch or stupid, immature and stuck in the playground. Either way, I dont think that she should remain employed at your work place.

Go to HR, OP and take her down!!

PHANTOMnamechanger · 16/04/2015 18:57

On a technical point, is she in some sort of probation period or anyting like that? I'm sure an allegation of harrassment won't look good if she is! And if she does get the sack let it be a lesson to her to take her responsibilities more seriously. Sounds very immature - how old is she?

I'd email her so I had it in writing. It never hurts to have written evidence.

And I'd screenshot the facebook stuff before blocking her. Many workplaces have specific policies about social media interactions with colleagues, clients etc.

Yes definitely complain formally to HR and collect all your evidence and names of people who may or may not confirm what she has been saying about you (most people don't like to put their head over parapet ime but usually one person will be willing and the rest follow) unless you work for NHS , in which case ignore all above advice as bullying is rife there and they do fuck all basically

Moustache that film looks ace!

I just get pissed of that people behave like this. Op this won't stop, if anything it will get worse. You need to stand up for yourself, nip it in the bud.

Even if you do accidentally tip a glass of something sticky in her handbag at the pub...oops ie I'm a bit tipseeeee.
